Will using inhaled steroids or steroid pills cause me to gain weight? NO, it does not. Because your inhaler contains such a tiny quantity of steroids, it will not cause you to gain weight. Steroid medications can sometimes make you feel hungry, and eating more will cause you to gain weight. However, this is only if you take a lot of them over a long period of time.
Inhalers are medicines that you breathe in so they can reach your lungs where they can do their best work against your asthma. In fact, many patients use their inhalers every day for years without any problems. But like any other drug, certain people may be more likely than others to develop side effects when taking inhalers. These side effects include weight gain among others. If you experience weight gain while using your inhaler, stop taking it immediately and talk to your doctor about alternative treatments that may help reduce your symptoms without causing you to gain weight.
Is it possible to gain weight when taking a multivitamin like Pharmaton? Taking a multivitamin and mineral tonic like Pharmaton may increase your appetite and cause you to eat more, especially if you are suffering from deficiencies that cause lack of appetite. Therefore, if you are trying to lose weight, we recommend that you don't take any pills during an exercise program.
A study published in the Journal of Nutrition found that women who took a vitamin supplement containing 880 mg of calcium per day for three years had increased their body weight by about five pounds (almost two kilograms) compared with those not taking the supplements. The researchers concluded that the women became habituated to eating because the supplements made them feel full sooner and thus prevented them from being able to eat properly during the rest of the day.
In addition, those taking the calcium supplement were more likely to suffer from osteoporosis later in life. The same article reported that men who consumed more than 500 mg of calcium per day had increased their risk of developing prostate cancer by 17%. However, other studies have shown that there is no link between dietary calcium intake and breast or colorectal cancer.
The recommended daily dose of calcium for adults is 800 to 1,000 mg per day. However, most people consume only 300 to 400 mg per day on average.
A little quantity of the medication can sometimes be absorbed into your system, especially with greater dosages of inhaled steroids. When this occurs, it has the potential to modestly depress your immune system across your entire body. Therefore, you should not take immunosuppressant medications such as cyclosporine or tacrolimus without consulting your physician first.
The Asthma-Weight-Gain Connection Asthmatics are overweight as a group, according to Karen McCoy, MD, chief of the division of pulmonary medicine at Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus, Ohio. "There are many factors involved in asthmatic patients gaining or losing weight, but the most important factor is how well they manage their disease."
Here are some of the other factors that may influence your weight:
If you're obese, you're more likely to have asthma. Being overweight increases the risk of developing allergies and asthma.
As you get older, your body produces less of the hormone insulin, which helps control blood sugar levels. This reduction in insulin production can lead to increased hunger and decreased fat burning. Because older adults tend to lose weight due to reduced activity and changes in eating habits, this issue is especially common among those who live alone or don't have anyone to help them manage medications or monitor food intake.
Women have higher rates of obesity than men. The reason for this discrepancy isn't clear, but it could be related to differences in body composition or genetics.
People with asthma are more likely to eat fast food and snacks high in sugar and salt.
